Minimum

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a comprehensive performance profile for Minimum, a third-person shooter released in 2014. Measured frame rate data shows that this combination is not merely capable of running the game, but does so with significant headroom across nearly every resolution and preset tier. The data indicates a system that can chase high refresh rates at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 while also managing a smooth 4K experience at elevated settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the benchmark results reveal exceptional performance across all settings. The Low preset achieves an average of 310 FPS, making it the highest recorded frame rate in the entire dataset. Moving up to High, the average drops to 199 FPS, still far above any competitive threshold. The Medium preset is the only one with min and max values recorded, showing a minimum of 202 FPS and a maximum of 273 FPS, with an average of 237 FPS. The Ultra preset, the most demanding, still delivers an average of 152 FPS. This data suggests that at 1080p, the system is entirely CPU-bound in lower settings, as the frame rates scale dramatically with reduced graphical load.

At 2560x1440, performance remains exceptionally high. The Low preset produces an average of 200 FPS, which is a 35% reduction compared to the 1080p Low result, indicating a growing GPU influence. The High preset averages 128 FPS, and the Medium preset again provides the only min/max data, with a minimum of 130 FPS and a maximum of 176 FPS, averaging 153 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p averages 98 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a consistent performance drop of roughly 35-36% across the Low, High, and Ultra presets, suggesting a balanced workload shift.

At 3840x2160, the system demonstrates its limits. The Low preset averages 108 FPS, showing that even at 4K, the game is highly playable. The Medium preset delivers a minimum of 70 FPS and a maximum of 95 FPS, with an average of 82 FPS. The High preset averages 69 FPS, which is still above the playability threshold. However, the Ultra preset falls below the 60 FPS line, averaging only 53 FPS. This is the only configuration in the dataset where the system fails to maintain a 60 FPS average. The transition from 1440p to 4K costs roughly 46-47% performance on Low and High settings, and 46.4% on Medium, indicating a severe GPU workload increase.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G sits in a specific performance tier relative to other CPUs. Its average benchmark score is 27051, placing it at the 79th percentile of all CPUs. The nearest rival is the Intel Core i9-9900K with an average score of 27097, representing a 0.2% difference. The Intel Core i5-14400T scores 27166, which is 0.4% higher, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26936, which is 0.4% lower. The Intel Core i7-1370P completes the group with a score of 26900, showing a 0.6% deficit. These deltaPct values are all within 1% of the 5700G, meaning that for CPU-bound scenarios in Minimum, users with any of these processors would likely see nearly identical frame rates, especially at lower resolutions and presets where the CPU is the primary bottleneck.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER shows a similar clustering among its rivals. Its average benchmark score is 43223, placing it at the 83rd percentile of all GPUs. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB scores 43262, a 0.1% difference, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile scores 43268, also 0.1% higher. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 scores 43301, a 0.2% difference, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile scores 43667, which is 1% higher. In GPU-bound scenarios, such as 4K Ultra where the average FPS drops to 53, these rivals would produce nearly indistinguishable results. The data implies that the RTX 4070 SUPER is a stable performer, with its closest competitors all within a single percentage point.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 152 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available in the dataset, and the system handles it with substantial margin. The data shows that at 1080p, there is no practical need to reduce quality for performance reasons.

For 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also remains the best playable option, with an average of 98 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS threshold, confirming that the system can run the game at maximum settings at this resolution without compromise. The 98 FPS average suggests that even in demanding scenes, there is enough headroom to avoid noticeable stuttering.

For 3840x2160, the most demanding playable preset is High, which averages 69 FPS. While this clears the 60 FPS threshold, the margin is thinner than at lower resolutions. The Medium preset offers a higher average of 82 FPS, but the High preset is selected as the "best" because it provides superior visual quality while still meeting the playability requirement. The Ultra preset at 4K, averaging 53 FPS, is not recommended for a consistent 60 FPS experience.

The Verdict

The benchmark data clearly indicates that this PC can run Minimum with excellent performance at most configurations. At 1920x1080, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold on all four presets, including Ultra with an average of 152 FPS. At 2560x1440, the same is true, with the Ultra preset averaging 98 FPS. At 3840x2160, the system maintains 60 FPS on Low, Medium, and High presets, with High being the best visual option at 69 FPS. The only failing configuration is 4K Ultra, which averages 53 FPS and would require a reduction in settings to achieve a smooth experience. For users targeting 1080p or 1440p, this combination provides a high-refresh-rate capable system. For 4K users, the system is viable but requires a trade-off between visual fidelity and frame rate stability.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a distinct shift in bottleneck behavior depending on resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the CPU plays a dominant role. Evidence for this is the massive frame rate scaling when moving from Ultra (152 FPS) to Low (310 FPS), a 104% increase. This indicates that the GPU is not the limiting factor at lower settings; the CPU is fully capable of feeding frames faster than the GPU can render them at high settings. The 3DMark single-thread score of 899 and the 16-thread score of 6629 support this, as the CPU has strong single-core performance for game logic.

At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to assert more influence, but the CPU still holds relevance. The scaling from Ultra (98 FPS) to Low (200 FPS) is a 104% increase, identical to 1080p, suggesting that the CPU still has headroom. However, the absolute frame rates are lower, indicating that the GPU is now the primary constraint at higher settings. The 1440p Medium min/max data (130-176 FPS) shows a tighter range than 1080p Medium (202-273 FPS), which is consistent with a GPU that is becoming more saturated.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is unequivocally the dominant component. The scaling from Ultra (53 FPS) to Low (108 FPS) is a 104% increase, but the absolute numbers are much lower. The 4K High preset averages 69 FPS, which is only 45% of the 1080p High average of 199 FPS. This 55% performance loss when moving from 1080p to 4K cannot be attributed to the CPU, as its workload remains constant. The RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are the likely determinants of this scaling. The data suggests that at 4K, the GPU is running near its limits, while the Ryzen 7 5700G is underutilized.

How This Combo Ranks

In the context of all tested combinations for Minimum, this pairing ranks 644 out of 3712 combos. This places it in the top 17.4% of all systems tested. The rank reflects the strong performance across the board, particularly at 1080p and 1440p where the system consistently exceeds 98 FPS on Ultra settings. The 4K Ultra deficiency prevents a higher rank, as many other combos likely achieve stable 60 FPS at that configuration. The high percentile rankings of both components (79th for CPU, 83rd for GPU) contribute to this strong overall position. The data indicates that while this is not a top-tier 4K Ultra machine, it is a formidable performer for high-refresh-rate gaming at lower resolutions, which aligns with its rank within the top quartile of tested combos.
